Across the 8 most recent Kent-area funded rounds shown (from 2021-08-17 to 2025-10-09), one disclosed check stands out: Stoke Space’s $510M Series D on 2025-10-09 is far above every other disclosed amount here, with the next-largest disclosed round at $21M (Origin, 2025-05-14). Most disclosed rounds cluster at much smaller figures, including $10K (The Herde, 2023-05-09) and $400K (Kent Displays, 2021-08-17), while one deal is not disclosed (TicketsOAir, 2023-08-10).
Geographically, the entries span Kent, Washington (Stoke Space, PowerLight Technologies, TicketsOAir) and Kent, United Kingdom (Origin, The Herde, Sova Assessment, Roadfill) plus Kent, Ohio (Kent Displays). Sector-wise, “Administrative Services” appears in 2 entries (Origin 2025-05-14 and Sova Assessment 2022-02-02), while 5 of 8 entries are classified as “Series Unknown” or “undisclosed” (PowerLight Technologies 2024-08-14, TicketsOAir 2023-08-10, The Herde 2023-05-09, and Roadfill 2021-11-03, plus the Series Unknown labels), creating a stage-mix that is harder to compare by round type.

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed round in this Kent list, and how far ahead is it of the rest?
Stoke Space’s $510M Series D (2025-10-09) is the only disclosed amount above $50M in these 8 rows. The next-largest disclosed round is Origin’s $21M Series A (2025-05-14), making the gap to the rest especially pronounced.
Do the most recent rounds concentrate in a tight time window?
Yes: 2 of the 8 entries fall between May and August 2025/2024/2023 boundaries for the latest set, with the most recent date being 2025-10-09 (Stoke Space). Looking at the full span, rounds run from 2021-08-17 (Kent Displays) through 2025-10-09 (Stoke Space), with multiple entries in the last ~2 years (Origin 2025-05-14; PowerLight Technologies 2024-08-14; TicketsOAir 2023-08-10; The Herde 2023-05-09).
Which “Kent” locations show up most, and are there distinct clusters by country/state?
The dataset splits across Kent, Washington (Stoke Space 2025-10-09; PowerLight Technologies 2024-08-14; TicketsOAir 2023-08-10), Kent, United Kingdom (Origin 2025-05-14; The Herde 2023-05-09; Sova Assessment 2022-02-02; Roadfill 2021-11-03), and Kent, Ohio (Kent Displays 2021-08-17).
How much of the list is hard to benchmark by stage because of ‘Series Unknown’ or missing disclosure?
5 of the 8 entries are not benchmarkable by a named stage: PowerLight Technologies (Series Unknown, $5M on 2024-08-14), TicketsOAir (undisclosed on 2023-08-10), The Herde (Series Unknown, $10K on 2023-05-09), Roadfill (Equity Crowdfunding on 2021-11-03), and Kent Displays (Grant on 2021-08-17). Only Origin (Series A) and Sova Assessment (Series A) have a clearly labeled Series A in the rows shown.
Are there sector or deal-size outliers worth isolating for outreach or due diligence?
Stoke Space’s $510M in Design (Series D, 2025-10-09) is a scale outlier relative to other disclosed amounts like $21M (Origin, Administrative Services, 2025-05-14) and $900K (Roadfill, Real Estate, 2021-11-03). At the low end, The Herde’s $10K (Business Consulting and Services, 2023-05-09) is the smallest disclosed amount in the list.
